The snow has started to arrive here in Montana! This makes for some of my most favorite mountain views, and sweet cuddled up family moments but it also means it is a little cold. Some of my families are brave enough to get out in the elements to capture this time of year, like the Hansen Family. Granted we did try to get together earlier but the weather was just not cooperating (we love snow but rain is certainly not our friend when it comes to family photos). Either way, I am grateful they were willing to brave the snow and cooler temperatures with me.

We did have to work quickly and my hear broke when hands got too cold and started to hurt.... it is important to me that everyone has a good experience so I certainly don't want to freeze fingers. But, the outcome was beautiful and Mom assured me everyone warmed up and were happy again quickly after getting back to the car...feewwww.

The Hansen family is so wonderful to work with I wish we could have had even more time to hang out. These kiddos are beautiful, handsome and absolutely adorable. The youngest may have been flirting with me a little bit...what a character! Calm and sweet and the most beautiful smiles.... I just adore this whole amazing crew.
